1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

In two studies, gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men prostate cancer survivors report lower Gleason scores than heterosexual prostate cancer survivors, leading some to speculate that men who have sex with men may have more intensive screening than other men. In the largest study of men who have sex with men prostate cancer survivors to date, 23 of 193 (11.9%) men who have sex with men prostate cancer survivors reported low Gleason scores (2-5). We contacted 14 of them, a 61 percent response rate. At second interview, most men clarified that they reported only a partial score rather than the sum score. We conclude the average lower score is not a result of differences in screening but likely measurement error. A revised Gleason item question is provided to overcome this research artifact.
